Comm. will be criticizing me for this disrespectful behavior as they did last Feb/Mar after the January meeting but I think it is important for the membership to know this action on the Review. I do wonder how much this List has to do with getting the word to the board? I know some on the List are not club members, and some club members are not on the List. But, those who post and those who read are passionate enough to take time to read and respond. I think it is a fantastic chance to get our ideas out. There have been other venues and lists that are either over, or with limited readership. But, because of the balance between keeping the hostility down, and letting the ideas be heard on both sides that we have this opportunity. And, people read us. The board changed the vote to get rid of Futurity plaques, they changed the number of the Reviews, and they changed the vote on the Whites. Maybe we don't agree, or we would rather it go the other way, but at least we were heard, and nothing seems so open and available as the List. Not that there is anything wrong with that. Evan L.
